Russ,
I too could kick myself for selling my 1148 28ga. but I'm a lefty and you are right about the safety. It was on the wrong side. Guess I'll tough it out with the Parker's until I hang up my brush pants.
Dave,
I looked for a long time to find a 30" 28ga. [I really want a 32"] but this one is just fine. It too is choked .010[mod] and .022[full] and I just love tight chokes.
Dean,
I think Dave is having your stock cut and made into a straight grip. It was supposed to be a surprise but I think the stock man at Wal-Mart needs to measure you for a precise fit. Until then Dave will give it a good home.
Thanks to all for the kind comments and oh yeah Dave- you better bring plenty of 28's to the Southern.
